Maybe the lack of nature and prevalence of fast food has some type of downside?

I honestly think its got more to do with being so loving hot outside.

This article is confused.

This article is people in the Eastern United States who have never been further than Pennsylvania, who think that the entire Western United States looks like rural Pennsylvania, and who are trying to figure it out based on that.

Oregon and Washington never used much coal power, Oregon and Washington had plentiful hydroelectric power coming from rivers. Coal mining was not a major industry in Montana: Montana's history is based around copper mining, if anything.

The county that Colstrip, Montana is in had a maximum population of 10,000 people, which even by Montana standards is small. Compare that to Silver Bow County (Butte), which at its peak had 25% of Montana's population. Contrary to the narrative about coal miners loving Trump, Silver Bow County has voted Democratic in every election in its history, with I think the exception of Nixon in 1972. But because the narrative is about environmentalist hating coal miners, Montana has to be about that, too.

I mean, okay yeah, but those are still some pretty dumb people, tho.

That cluster of fat children in the New England states of Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi blows my mind. Thank god the Supreme Gynarch of the California Free State put mandatory athletic fields in all rest stops for when the children there take their mandatory weekly five-hour freeway rides. The triumvirate of West Connecticut could learn a lot from her, if only men were allowed in her presence on any day other than the Harvest Ritual.

Yup. I was floored the first time I drove cross country and found how less-lovely East Coast rest stops are than West Coast ones.

Well then move east and keep that poo poo to yourself, thanks. If I want public-private partnerships where tax money is diverted from helping out poor kids to paying for a McDonald's franchise to further gently caress up the Papa John's Pizzeria At Inflated Prices And Acre of Concrete (n�e Vernita Bridge Rest Area) or whatever, then I guess now I know I can always move to loving Ohio or some other similarly piece of poo poo state. It's nice to have the choice (of never living in such a place).

I mean, I just drove across Washington State today and I can assure you that one thought that never crossed my mind was "gee, the nearest town is 15 minutes away and the Taco Del Mar is a short drive to the middle of it, but wouldn't it be so much better if the Taco Del Mar were right next to the loving freeway where it can block the view of Mt Stuart from I-90 and spread loving trash all over the place".

I mean Jesus H Christ do you folks have to concentrate really hard all the time lest you revert ruthlessly avaricious capitalists or what :smh:

I know Jimmy Johns bases itself on super fast delivery but how the gently caress does that work? Didn't places like Dominos get in big trouble in the 80s because their promised fast delivery times resulted in tons of car accidents?

Couple pages back, but JJ's limits their delivery area to within 1 mile of the store location and you are expected to be able to make a sandwich in under 25 seconds IIRC.

Also they overstaff for delivery drivers on most shifts.

Also the owner is a big game hunter/misogynist shitheel who is really into ratfucking the employees but that is not different from most other delivery chains, so. :shrug:

Oh and they put way too much mayo on everything. The wheat bread is the bomb though and you can sometimes get it at the end of the night for mad cheap.

The one near me has Ayn Rand quotes on the wall.

JJ's bread is garbage too.

Years ago though when I worked in an office space on the other side of the state, they would come by like once a month handing out free 4" subs to everyone. That was kinda cool I guess.

The JimmyJohn's where I went to college only had bicycle delivery people, which made sense since it was downtown next to the campus and most students lived pretty close to campus.

I liked ordering delivery. And I'm pretty sure I could've bought a dubsack from the dude who always delivered my sandwich.

Sounds right.

I had never once heard anyone say anything positive about that guy. He is just a terrible human being in all respects.

Who knows, maybe Trump can pick him to replace Spicer. He already has the requisite skillset for the job and would have no problems fitting in.

I must have lived near the best subway on earth one summer because theirs were actually good enough to order intentional, so I would get one every few weeks. One time when I was back at school, I order one at the local subway, and it was the foulest thing I had ever eaten. Like it tasted like tires and sewage

So kudos to you random subway franchisee in Seattle, you were a genius who could salvage subway pizza

Schlotzsky's is now owned by Roark, who also own Jimmy John's and Arby's. They're a venture capital firm. They're named after Howard Roark. Don't buy things from companies they own.

What the gently caress point are you trying to make? When I'm driving from City A to City B I don't really give a poo poo about anything except getting from A to B. I'm from the west coast and why the hell would I want to stop at some poo poo smelling bathroom with a broken vending machine for any longer than I need to? I'd take a McDonalds over that any day of the week because at least McDonalds has: air conditioning, food, water/drinks/coffee, bathrooms that are at least maintained and cleaned daily, and wifi. I'll leave the "enjoying myself" part when I get to my destination and go to a real park or whatever.

Domino's had a fixed delivery time though, and anything later it was free, so drivers were "encouraged" to make it on or before the time limit

Our big thing as kids was:
1 - get money from parents to order pizza
2 - call domino's and ask for delivery to '303 15th st'
3 - they call back in a half hour and say 'there is no 303 15th st'
4 - tell them 'noooo, I said 50th, not 15th'
5 - free pizza, free money
